How to configure the virtual ap ?

You can configure the virtual ap as follows:

Deployment key steps

1. After the AP is powered on, establish the CAPWAP tunnel with the master AC.

1) Unicast can only discover the master AC ( acip, cluster and DHCP discovery).

2) If the AP and sub-control AC go layer 2 network, then the sub-control AC blocks the layer 2 discovery of the AP (discovery of broadcast, multicast and DNS).

2. The master AC sends down the AP virtualization template configuration, and the AP creates a virtual AP

3.The virtual AP confirms the IP address used by the virtual AP according to the uplink port configuration:3

1) If the uplink port is configured as the master AP's uplink port, then the virtual AP uses the master AP's IP

2) If the uplink port configuration is not the same as the main AP's, then the IP address is obtained from the configured uplink port DHCP

4. After obtaining the IP address, the virtual AP establishes a CAPWAP tunnel with the IP address of the sub-controller AC configured in the AP mock-up template

5. The AP establishes its own CAPWAP tunnel with both the master AC and the sub-control AC, and the master AC and sub-control AC can manage the AP independently.

Deploy critical configuration

1. If the virtual AP and the sub-controller AC are in Layer 2 network networking, the sub-controller AC is configured to reject AP Layer 2 discovery, which is configured in AC configuration mode.

Sub-control AC(config)#capwap discovery-type unknown forbidden

Sub-control AC(config)#capwap discovery-type dns forbidden

2. The master AC configures the AP virtualization template in global configuration mode.

virtual-ap xxx

ac-ip x.x.x.x

wlan-capacity xx

sta-capacity xx

ink-interface xx

3. Application of AP virtualization template, take AP configuration mode as an example.

Master AC(config-ap)# virtualap VAP id 1  #Apply the AP virtualization template called VAP 1, and the virtual AP number is 1

Master AC(config-ap)# virtualap VAP 2 id 2  #Apply the AP virtualization template called VAP 2, and the virtual AP number is 2

Note: If the AC-IP is forgotten to be configured, the BVI 2445 interface for establishing the second tunnel will not be created on the AP, i.e. the virtual sub-AP can not establish a tunnel with the sub-controller AC
